Chapter 215

In the Divination Commission, Miss Miss Qingque slowly straightened her waist, looked at the files piled up in front of her, and sighed long.

Then, looking at the sky, she said softly:

"You guys are actually quite good."

Of course, there were also people gloating at this time.

"This should be public revenge, right? No matter who sees their lover messing around everywhere, they shouldn't be happy, right."

"Hard to say, maybe Dr. Clef is a supporter of open relationships."

"Then is this so-called love a bit cheap?"

The audience's attention had long shifted from "Dr. Clef executing 'Anomaly-239'" to "Dr. Clef's chaotic love history".

Especially watching this legendary doctor just finish with "Anomaly-091-ARC", and then be cleaned up by "Anomaly-336".

A special pleasure rose in their hearts one after another.

It seems that seeing Dr. Clef eat shriveled in the hands of his lover is a very interesting thing.

……

"Anomaly-336"'s voice not only devastated Dr. Clef's spirit and body, but also caused the screen to distort and shake to a certain extent.

And when the screen vibrated to a certain degree.

The screen disappeared.

Subsequently, the timestamp emerged.

8: 5.

The screen gradually recovered.

In the corridor, only Dr. Clef, who was in a very wrong state, remained.

He was not lightly injured by that sound, not to mention being weak, even leaning against the wall couldn't stop him from shaking.

Worse, in order to keep his sanity from collapsing easily, he chose to stab his own ears, ruining his hearing.

Being deaf can reduce a lot of trouble.

For example, not hearing that damn sound.

Dr. Clef's hand was holding a gun, his fingertips stained with blood, which was brought out from the wound in his ear.

Not far away, the mirror was shattered, the wall had three bullet holes, and three bullet heads were scattered in the mirror fragments.

Only the figure of "Anomaly-336" was missing.

Hoo...

Dr. Clef took a deep breath, then laughed loudly:

"Just kidding, Lily! I'm deaf now! This plan is still absolutely perfect!"

Perhaps, what he did was really wrong, Dr. Clef's mind couldn't help but associate with the people who stopped him from approaching "Anomaly-239" all the way, that damn brat.

Even anomalies.

8: 5.

【Non-continuous timestamp detected. Preparing to detonate tactical nuclear bomb.】

Even Kafka, after seeing this line of white text, froze for a moment.

"The Foundation... really likes to use some special means to solve problems efficiently."

For example, star annihilation.

But since the Foundation at that time had not yet entered the universe, it shouldn't easily use nuclear weapons.

But she thought about it, and denied this naive idea.

"Missing Thing" had just completed its ascension not long ago, and was bombed by the Foundation with nuclear weapons, destroying the surrounding city together.

She didn't like being an enemy of such existence, because the other party's bottom line was too low, a light touch might directly flip the other party's final hole card.

Then...

Restart everything.

Kafka raised her head and looked at the clear sky.

I wonder how long this universe can rest after the Foundation appears?

……

Dr. Clef looked at the camera device, ceremonially picked his ears, and brought out sticky blood clots.

"Alright, if I'm deaf, why the fuck can I keep hearing music?"

His emotions were a bit wrong.

Before everyone could react, they saw Dr. Clef leaning against the wall, sliding down to the ground, seemingly crying.

And the flowers remaining on his body withered and died completely.

Seemingly referring to his mood at this time.

After a few seconds, Dr. Clef calmed down.

He took off the camera device, aimed the lens at himself, straightened the top hat on his head, and said sternly:

"This is 【Data Deleted】, previously known as Dr. Clef."

"I say these words not out of my free will, but under the coercion of my first wife."

When Dr. Clef really disclosed his relationship with "Anomaly-336", everyone was shocked.

"First wife? Dr. Clef's relationship with that lady is really unusual!"

"They are husband and wife, why choose to hurt each other to solve the problem? Shouldn't it be sitting down and talking properly?"

"So shrimp head!"

Even Clara was very confused.

All of Dr. Clef's practices so far were a bit beyond her impression and understanding of the world.

Of course, Svarog interrupted her viewing in time before Dr. Clef started high-intensity exercise.

Did not let the young girl come into contact with image knowledge too early.

Dr. Clef's mood was still low, but his voice was mixed with new things.

For example, anger.

"Although I made efforts, before 'Anomaly-336' issued some instructions, I couldn't eliminate my hearing."

"I'm not sure what her order to me means, but all I remember is, 'Tell me the truth'."

984177810

"This is the truth."

"...... ruth......"

"Heh heh heh... ha ha ha..."

Dr. Clef laughed, making a low, manic laugh.

"Truth!"

Without warning, Dr. Clef roared suddenly, grabbed the recording equipment with one hand, and threw it violently.

Snap!

It hit the wall solidly.

That equipment was not designed for venting, and drop resistance was only within a reasonable range.

Thus.

It split open on the spot, and various components fell all over the floor.

The sudden violence startled "Anomaly-408", and the butterflies flapped their wings, canceling the disguise at this time, no longer blending into the corridor.

Not long after.

The butterfly swarm circled and re-gathered, restoring order.

Surrounding Dr. Clef, wrapping him inside.

And Dr. Clef stood up with his shotgun, falling into an abnormal silence.

His mouth lost its smile, his three eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and the blood overflowing from his ears had dried up.

Then, this doctor, surrounded by butterflies, stepped onto the road of execution again, continuing to move forward.

8: 8.

【"Anomaly-408" re-aggregates, swarm begins to surround Dr. Clef.】

【Lost visual contact.】

Immediately, the image was lost, and the screen went pitch black.

This transition was a bit abrupt, leaving the audience with even more questions.

"Wait, what about the nuke? Did the nuke actually go off or not?!"

"Yeah, where's the nuke? When is it launching? I want to see the explosion!"

"Damn it! Show the nuke, show the nuke! I want to see the nuke explode at Site-17!"

When the image brightened again, the person on camera was no longer Dr. Clef, nor was it Dr. Kondraki.

It was Dr. Gears.

This expressionless middle-aged man was sitting at one end of a conference table, meeting the scrutiny from the other end with a calm gaze.

At that other end sat a man dressed in a respectable suit.

Pinned to his chest was a badge:

"O5-█".

An O5 Councilor.

"At what point did you become involved in this incident?"

The other party's voice was cold, as if conducting an interrogation.

But Dr. Gears was long accustomed to this demeanor from O5 Councilors.

Several of them even shared the same designation as this councilor.

The difference was that they were dead, while this councilor was still alive.

He replied calmly:

"Professor Kain and I were conducting research on 'SCP-244'."

"We needed to determine which parts could be converted into modular components. We were researching a new crystal energy cannon module when Site Command ordered us to respond."

The O5 Councilor didn't quite understand what the other was saying and steered the topic in another direction.

"Did you have prior knowledge of what was happening?"

Dr. Gears' expression remained unchanged, and he answered like an artificial intelligence.

"Somewhat. We heard the alarm, but there was no 'Black Alert'. So we continued working. Also, I was still working when Professor Kain sent the feedback message."

"The P. . system was running in the lab, and Site Command stated that Dr. Clef was attempting to terminate 'SCP-239' without authorization, causing several containment breaches and injuring other personnel, particularly Dr. Kondraki. We attempted to contain Dr. Clef until the site issued a security response."

The O5 Councilor put down the pen in his hand, looked up, and continued to scrutinize this legendary doctor.

"Do you find it strange?"

"What?"

"You were asked to stop hostile actions."

Dr. Gears paused for a rare moment.

This made O5-█ feel as if he were talking to a human, rather than some kind of humanoid computer or SCP.

"No, Dr. Clef's actions were indeed... unexpected, but since joining the Foundation, I have always been asked to do many things outside my field of expertise."

"What did you do after you received the order?"

Dr. Gears returned to his normal state:

"Professor Kain entered 'SCP-244' and stated that he was going to assist Dr. Kondraki."

"The new module was still connected, and the professor said he looked forward to using the cannon to stop Dr. Clef. I suggested using it with caution, but Professor Kain had already left and likely did not hear what I said."

Welt Yang suddenly became interested.

He rested his elbows on the table, assuming a Gendo Ikari pose, his glasses glinting, putting immense pressure on Paimon beside him.

The leader of Anti-Entropy, no matter how approachable, was a bona fide big shot with a unique aura.

Combined with the Gendo Ikari pose, this pressure felt tangible.

But Welt Yang's focus was entirely on "SCP-244":

It could be entered;

It could be loaded with new modules;

It could even use a cannon;

Without a doubt, "SCP-244" must be some kind of vehicle, or even a Gundam!

The O5 Councilor was somewhat puzzled: "You didn't go with him?"

Dr. Gears:

"I doubted whether I could provide much more help. Professor Kain is an outstanding individual, in the body of a dog, inside a large mechanical combat device derived from many SCPs."

"I am an ordinary person without combat training, and my emotional response is very limited. I responded in the way I felt was most appropriate."

O5 Councilor: "So what happened?"

Dr. Gears: "I had a talk with 'SCP-239'."

Subsequently, the screen switched.

8: 2.

【Continuous timestamp restored. Nuclear launch aborted.】

8: 0.

【Dr. Gears enters the containment area of 'SCP-239'.】

In a corridor on the other side, Dr. Gears walked forward unhurriedly.

Steel doors opened to both sides, clearing a path for this doctor with Level 4 clearance.

Before he even reached the containment room, he heard a series of musical notes drifting out from inside.

Dr. Gears furrowed his brows, thinking, that seemed to be a very old song.

But this song did indeed cause the doctor some discomfort.

8: 0.

【Dr. Gears was observed instinctively searching for a non-existent gun, attempting to perform self-termination.】

8: 1.

【After destroying the music player in the room, Dr. Gears talked to 'SCP-239' for several minutes.】

After Dr. Gears swept the shattered music player into the trash can, he looked calmly at "SCP-239".

"Come with us, Cigarette."

"Sigurrós."

"SCP-239" refused his request.

Dr. Gears crouched down and gently hugged "SCP-239", as if coaxing a child.

Only when she felt better did he say:

"We need your help, Cigar. Dr. Clef has been placed under a soul-stealing curse by the Lord Ruler and is using Allomancy to destroy you."

The Lord Ruler was definitely fake, the soul-stealing curse was also fake, and Allomancy was even more fake.

Only the fact that Dr. Clef was coming to destroy "SCP-239" was true.

But how would "SCP-239" know these things? She was just a child.

"SCP-239" blinked her large eyes and nodded:

"Isn't the source of that a bit obscure, Mr. Gears?"

Dr. Gears: "There will always be someone who understands."

As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to the door:

"Let's go, help Dr. Clef wake up from the Lord Ruler's soul-stealing curse."

"Yay! Mr. Gears, may I ask if I need to bring my 'Spellbook'?"

"Of course, you are a witch, naturally you should bring your 'Spellbook', but before the battle begins, I need to keep this book for you."

"Okay."

"SCP-239" nodded and began to collect the papers with "spells" written on them, handing them to Dr. Gears.

8: 5.

【Although 'SCP-239' spoke very little, they were still talking when they left the containment area.】

8: 7.

When the two passed by an office, Dr. Gears stopped, walked inside, and took out a "Xinhua Dictionary".
